First of all....make sure she is not mad at you....
I’ve taken friends to the indoor range.
Until you know their gun skills, you gotta watch them when they are holding loaded weapons.
Every time!
Paul gives good advice.
A friend taken to the range?
You can lose a friendship real fast.
Friends do not like what they hear if they are unsafe or inattentive in handling a loaded weapon.
I made the big mistake of starting my wife with the same .38 special I use with the same hollow point 138 grain ammo I use and the recoil was so bad she hurt her wrist and said she’ll never shoot it again. Be careful.
With what ammo? :(
Back in June I was at a gun range in Missouri. Don’t know if it was her first time but a woman was two lanes over with her husband/boyfriend. He was standing to her right side, and just behind giving her guidance. She has wearing a halter top which held back her rather large blossom. A hot shell casing flipped back and landed right in her cleavage. He flinched and squeezed off a round as her right hand spun back downward. Hit her significant other with a grazing shot that cut a groove in his arm. Though he was not badly hurt, blood was everywhere.
That was the end of our day as far as shooting is concerned. It was lucky he wasn’t more seriously wounded or that the bullet didn’t ricochet and hit one of us.
I got part way thru the video, but due to time constraints I cannot finish it. But I did hear him say that women will ignore you.
Once upon a time I was a supervisor and for several years a team leader at the work place. The inexperienced ignoring the experienced is universal with age, sex, race and any other way people can be categorized. And with today’s younger people, to tell them they are doing something wrong can lead to a serious emotional backlash.
None of this belongs when it comes time to handle firearms. I also have the feeling today’s supervisors are reluctant to address such issues with millineals due to the back lash.
Case in point: Several weeks back at a Scheels Sporting goods store a young employee was installing a scope on a newly purchased rifle and pointing it all around the store with people within the sight path. This was done in full view of his supervisor. I wanted to take the gun away from him and beat him with it. I know I should have went to upper management, but just got the hell out of Dodge.
Paul’s videos are great. I learn something useful from almost every one.
She still doesn't enjoy shooting - and refused to try the AR-15. Oh, well...
Indeed, a very good one. Paul has such a knack for these instructional videos. ‘I’m whatcha call a professional.’
Then find it hysterically funny when the lose control, drop the gun or get knocked on their butt.
I went with a friend to a gun club one time. I had never held a gun before and dont know what all those numbers mean. But evidently I have an eye as the target holes were impressive. I especially handled the rifle well. A college son was in a gun club, and was quite proud of his Mommy when he saw the targets.
I’ve found it better to not try to instruct GF/Wives when you are the significant other. They tend to be jittery/nervous. Let someone you trust do it. The Ladies are more relaxed. I was lucky, I sent the Mrs and Her up to the Son in PA. He’s a PA Game Warden and took Her to their Shooting Range, nobody else was there and She did Excellent.

I do my part to convert every woman over to Pro Second Amendment. That's how we do it.
I am a wise person. I sent my wife to the range with a good friend with plenty of experience. Why? Your significant other, especially if she is your wife will not listen to you. And pretty soon it is all your fault for whatever didn’t go right as she expected.
After she stopped jumping and squeaking when other lanes were shooting, she did very well.
